k ISOLATING TRANSFORMER RTR
1. INTRODUCTION
Dear customer,
Thank you for buying the isolating transformer RTR. A toroidal transformer with a housing by salt water
resistant aluminium with a plastic coating as surface protection allows a galvanic isolation of the shore
power supply and adaptation of the input- respectively output voltage of your on board network.
You can use the isolating transformer for:
a) galvanic isolation of the on board network; recommended for boats with metal hull
b) operating of 115V devices by a shore power supply of 230V, if you`ve bought an american vessel
c) operating of 230 V devices by a shore power supply of 115V, for example for use of european devices
on the american continent
Due to the inrush current limiter there is no danger of blowing the shore fusing when switching on.
1.1. PURPOSE
The isolating transformer of the RTR series were designed for the use on yachts or camper vans and
must be used in an enclosed environment which is protected against rain, moisture, dust and
condensation. Don`t use isolating transformers in places where there could be danger of explosion by
gas or dust.
